[00:00:04]
GOOD MORNING, LADIES[Call to Order]
AND GENTLEMEN.IT'S THE LAST MEETING OF 2025.
AND, UH, I THINK BY FAR THE MOST PRO, MOST THE BEST YEAR WE'VE HAD WITH GETTING THE AMOUNT OF THINGS WE'VE GOT ACCOMPLISHED, UH, IN 2025.
AND SO, WANNA THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND THE MEETING WILL NOW TAKE PLACE.
THE MEETING WAS CALLED AN ORDER NOW.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR A QUORUM? YES.
[Citizen's Comments]
COMMENTS, CITIZENS' DESIRE TO ADDRESS THE PARKS AND REGULATION COMMISSION.DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO SHARE OR SPEAK ON OR BRING UP? UM, MY NAME'S ANGELA KURBO.
I AM, UM, THE FOUNDER OF SHORE ARTS ALLIANCE, AND I'M HERE TO, UM, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSS ANY FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR UTILITY BOX ART AND, UM, FUTURE ART PROJECTS FOR THE PARKS.
WELL, I THINK WE'RE GONNA WANT TO GET THE CONCESSION STAND PAINTED UP AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
SO THAT'LL BE YOUR PROJECT? YES.
IS THERE ANY, UM, IS THERE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS I COULD ANSWER WHILE I'M HERE TODAY? OR IS THERE SOME, CAN I START MOVING FORWARD WITH FINDING ARTISTS FOR THAT PROJECT? SO, ONE THING I WAS JUST GONNA BRING UP, I THINK WHAT WE LEARNED THE LAST TIME WE DID THE ARTS, UH, WRAPPING, WAS THAT WE GOT A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF OURSELVES.
AND SO I THINK THE DESIRE THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING WAS TO RELAUNCH A PROGRAM TO SEEK MORE ART FOR NEW BOXES TO BE WRAPPED ONCE THE, UM, TXDOT PROJECT IS COMPLETE.
SO I DO THINK, AND NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, THAT WE WANTED YOUR INVOLVEMENT AGAIN WITH THAT.
BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT, UM, WE'RE NOT GOING OUT AND ASKING ARTISTS FOR THEIR ARTWORK UNTIL WE HAVE THE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE.
WE'VE GOT IT, YOU KNOW, ORGANIZED OF DATES.
OF WHEN THEY'RE GONNA BE PLACED.
'CAUSE WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THIS TIME AROUND THAT WE'RE A LOT MORE COMMUNICATIVE WITH THOSE THAT TAKE THE TIME TO SUBMIT THEIR ART AND THAT WE'RE, UH, QUICKER WITH, UH, DECIDING AND PAYING AND PLACING.
WE DON'T WANNA REPEAT WHAT WE DID LAST TIME.
SO I THINK WITH THAT, I, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE, THE HIGHWAY PROJECT IS COMPLETE AND WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO TARGET THOSE WRAPS, BUT THAT'S JUST MY 2 CENTS FOR, FOR, YOU KNOW, YOUR INVOLVEMENT.
AND WE JUST REALLY APPRECIATE YOU WANTING TO STILL STAY INVOLVED.
WE WILL STILL BE USING THE ARTWORK OF THE REMAINING ARTISTS, CORRECT? THE ONES THAT WERE SELECTED AT THE, WITH THE PREVIOUS, YES.
WELL, AND ALSO, I KNOW IT'S ON OUR AGENDA TODAY FOR THE, UM, CONCESSION STAND.
SO WE'RE GONNA NEED TO DISCUSS THAT.
BUT HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE A PROJECT YOU CAN WORK WITH US ON TOO.
AND OTHERS SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK FOR ARTISTS THAT MIGHT BE, UH, INCLINED TO DO THIS TYPE OF THINGS.
SO YEAH, WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME, BUT WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT WE NEED TO, WE DON'T WANT TO COMMISSION ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING YET.
I, I WILL HAVE MY, UM, FEELERS OUT FOR THAT'S FINE.
SO HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE NEWPORT YET TO KIND OF CHECK IT OUT? UM, I HAVE.
I DID NOT PASS THROUGH THE, I CHECKED IT OUT WITH MY 5-YEAR-OLD, SO I DIDN'T PASS THE BARRICADES.
I WAS NERVOUS TO GET HER BACK THERE, BUT I HAVE GONE BY TO CHECK IT OUT.
JUST MOVE YOUR I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT THEN, BUT MY KIDS WERE LIKE, MOMMY, YOU CAN'T, YOU'RE GONNA GET IN TROUBLE.
SO I THAT WHERE RELATED, LIKE THAT SAYS FULCHER.
I SENT YOU A PHOTOGRAPH TOO, DIDN'T I? YEAH.
SO YOU THAT WE CAN GET A SIZE OF THE AREA KIND OF START VISUALIZING AND MAYBE THINKING ABOUT WOULD BE A GOOD FIT.
FOR FULCHER, OBVIOUSLY BASEBALL AND THEN FUL RELATED STUFF TOO.
UM, AND THEN, UM, THAT WAY WHENEVER WE ARE READY WE CAN KEEP THE GROUND RUNNING ON THAT
WELL, UM, WE CAN GIVE YOU A THEME.
WE'LL WORK ON THAT TODAY AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE CONCESSION PART.
I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE HER DIRECTION AS FAR AS THE THEME.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT'D BE EASIER FOR YOU OR DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THAT YOURSELF? I MEAN, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO DO IT MYSELF, BUT IF Y'ALL HAVE A DIRECTION YOU'RE LOOKING TO GO, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH IT THAT DIRECTION.
I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF KEEPING, UM, KEEPING THE CHARACTER OF FULL SURE IN MIND.
UM, AND NOT TRYING TO MODERNIZE THINGS TOO MUCH AND KEEP THE CHARM WE HAVE WHILE WE HAVE IT.
TELL YOU WHAT, SINCE YOU'RE THE ARTIST MM-HMM
IF YOU JUST WANNA LET US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS OKAY.
AND SAY, HEY, HERE'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
WE CAN BE LIKE, YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.
OR LIKE, HEY, CAN YOU ADD THIS ON? MAYBE.
UM, ALSO, WHENEVER THE DIMENSIONS ARE READILY AVAILABLE, COULD SOMEBODY SHOOT THOSE MY DIRECTION? NO.
THE CONCESSION, CONCESSION STANDS STAND.
CONCESSION STANDS WHEN I'M PAINT 'EM ALL UP.
VERSUS JUST A BIG CONCRETE, KEEP IT, UH,
[00:05:01]
B******T, BUT ALSO THROW SOME BASEBALL IN THERE ON THE SIDE.WELL, MY DAD'S A RETIRED BASEBALL COACH.
BUT THE BATHROOM IS FOR THE ENTIRE DEPART.
NOT JUST FOR THE BASEBALL FIELD.
I THINK IT'D BE A COOL TO DO LIKE HISTORY OF
INCORPORATE AND THE RACETRACKS AND THE TRAINS.
I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF LIKE A MURAL LIKE THAT.
THROW LIKE A LONGHORN IN THERE.
THROW LIKE A TRAIN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE LIKE A LANDMARK.
AND THEN LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE ONE AT THAT WE DID AT, UM, IRENE STERN MM-HMM
WITH JUST WILDLIFE AND BUTTERFLIES AND NATURE YEAH.
WE'LL TRY OUT THE BUTTERFLIES AND PUT LIKE BOBCATS.
WOULD, WOULD YOU Y'ALL BE OPEN TO, UM, DOING LIKE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR, OR, AND HAVING ARTISTS SUBMIT THEIR IDEAS? WELL, I KIND OF THINK AS AN AGENDA ITEM, WE PROBABLY WILL NEED TO DISCUSS THAT MORE IN CITY COUNCIL.
WE'LL HAVE TO PROBABLY ADVISE ON THAT PIECE OF IT, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD JUST FOR YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION ABOUT THE ART BOX, WE HAVE FOUR THAT ARE COMPLETE, RIGHT? HOW MANY REMAINING DO WE HAVE? FOUR.
SO THOSE ARE THE FOUR THAT WE WOULD BE USING THE REMAINING ART FOR.
AND THEN, UM, THE REST WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON THE CONSTRUCTION FINISHING AND OPENING UP A NEW CONTEST.
SO JUST SO THAT YOU'RE CLEAR, THE FOUR AND FOUR ARE THE SAME THAT WE HAD PICKED BEFORE.
[Business – A]
BUSINESS APPROVE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FOR THE MEETINGS HELD ON NOVEMBER 14TH, 2025.[Business – B]
UPDATE PROVIDED BY A LIAISON.YOU GOT A VOTE? OH, ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
UH, WELL NOT MUCH OF AN UPDATE SINCE WE HAVEN'T HAD A CITY COUNCIL MEETING FOR OVER A MONTH.
SO, UM, LAST ONE WAS REALLY JUST A, UH, I THINK THE BIGGEST TOPIC OBVIOUSLY, WHICH WE'LL PROBABLY BE DISCUSSING, UH, WE JUST GOT THE NOTES YESTERDAY OR WEDNESDAY, UM, ARE, UM, WATER RATES.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S A, UH, A BIG HOT TOPIC THAT'S GONNA BE COMING UP THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DISCUSSING A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH.
THE IDEA WOULD BE TO, TO LOWER 'EM.
THAT WOULD BE IDEALISTIC FOR EVERYONE.
UM, BUT THERE'S, THERE'S SOME DISCUSSIONS GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND THAT, UH, OBVIOUSLY TO TRY TO KEEP, UM, AND, AND NOT, UM, NOT, NOT AFFECT THE, THE RESIDENTS AS MUCH.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSIONS AND WE'LL, WE'LL PROBABLY DEFINITELY BE DISCUSSING THAT ON TUESDAY.
I KNOW YOU WERE AT THE EAGLE LANDING, GRAND OPENING, SO WAS THERE ANYTHING FROM THE COMMUNITY STANDPOINT THAT THEY HAPPENED TO SHARE WITH YOU OR ANY TAKEAWAYS THAT YOU HAD FROM THAT? OR JUST, I DON'T KNOW, AS A COUNCILMAN, I THOUGHT PERHAPS SOMEBODY SHARED SOMETHING WITH YOU ABOUT THAT THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTING FOR US ACTUALLY.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE, THAT THEY WERE, OH, THEY, THEY HAD A FANTASTIC OUTING.
UM, REALISTICALLY I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH AN OPENING WITH SO MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED.
AND SEEING ALL THE KIDS OUT THERE, UM, PLAYING AROUND WAS FANTASTIC BECAUSE IDEALLY THAT'S WHAT IT WAS FOR AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS FOR.
SO SEEING THAT WAS, WAS TRULY, TRULY A BLESSING, ESPECIALLY BEING, NOT BEING A PART OF IT AS MYSELF BECAUSE ALL OF THAT WAS TAKING, YOU KNOW, TAKING PLACE WELL BEFORE I, I I, I JOINED UP ON, UH, IN MAY.
UM, BUT BEING A PART OF IT AS THE OPENING WAS TRULY FANTASTIC.
THE ONE TAKEAWAY THAT THEY DID THAT SEVERAL OF US AND SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS EVEN TALKED ABOUT, UM, FROM THE CONCESSION STAND TO THE FIELDS, A SMALL WALKWAY THAT GOES OVER THE, THE RAVINE.
UM, JUST A SMALL LITTLE BRIDGE.
WE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT UTILIZING THE, THE BOY SCOUTS, UM, YOU KNOW, ENGINEERING ASPECT, UM, TO TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING NOT MONUMENTAL, NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT SOMETHING THAT'S, THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A, A WHOLE ENGINEERING TEAM, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD GIVE US, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GO REALLY FAR OUT EITHER WAY FROM EITHER THE END OF THE, WHERE ALL THE ROCKS ARE, UH, TO THE RIGHT SIDE OR ALL THE WAY, YOU KNOW, HALFWAY DOWN THE FIELDS TO THE LEFT SIDE TO GET TO 'EM.
AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA BE TRAMPLING THROUGH THE BOTTOM.
AND IF IT'S MUDDY AND STUFF, THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
IS THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE CONCESSION STAND? TWO LONG WAYS AROUND.
THERE'S TWO LONG WAYS AROUND, BUT EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE BOWLING RIGHT THROUGH.
YOU OUGHT TO PUT A TRAIL THROUGH THERE AND MAKE IT A TRAIL.
AND BECAUSE OF IT, I NEVER KNEW MUCH ABOUT A DA UNTIL I HAD TO PUSH A WHEELCHAIR THROUGH THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T PUSH A WHEELCHAIR THROUGH
[00:10:01]
DONE THE RIGHT WAY.MAKE SURE WE CONCRETE AND MAKE IT A REGULAR BRIDGE THAT'S BIG ENOUGH THAT TWO LANE OF TRAFFIC CAN PASS.
I THAT WE COULD FIND, I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S AN EXPENSE, BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT EXPENSE.
YEAH, THAT'S GOOD THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT.
I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IT'S GONNA CAUSE AN ISSUE AND IT'S GONNA, PEOPLE ARE GONNA RELE MUD ALL THROUGH THERE, BACK AND FORTH.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS AT THAT EVENT.
PEOPLE WERE, I WAS ONE OF 'EM AND I GOT MY BOOTS STUCK ABOUT AN INCH DEEP.
I WAS IN FLORIDA WITH THE WHEELCHAIR TRYING TO PUSH IT THROUGH SAND.
I MEAN, IT JUST, SO I, I WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S, THAT WAS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY.
WHO DO WE TALK TO ABOUT GETTING THAT FIXED KIND OF, 'CAUSE SOCCER SEASON'S GONNA BE COMING UP, BUT I'LL DEFINITELY COULD FIND AN EAGLE SCOUT.
DON'T HAVE TO BUILD A THAT COULD THEY A WOODEN BRIDGE? I THINK FOR SAFETY REASONS, I, I'VE GOT THREE EAGLE SCOUTS.
I KNOW, BUT I MEAN, IF DANNY WAS ON IT, I KNOW IT WOULD BE D BUT YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.
LIKE IF PEOPLE DON'T DUNNO WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND THAT, THAT'S ALWAYS THE CONCERN WITH AADA A COMPLIANCE, IT HAS TO BE A CONTRACTOR THAT'S INVOLVED.
IT MAY HAVE TO BE A CONTRACTOR DESIGN.
IF WE'RE GONNA DO SOME TYPE OF BRIDGE THAT GOES OVER THAT DITCH, UM, WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND THEN START LOOKING AT, DO WE OWN IT NOW OR IS TAMRON STILL ON IT? UH, WE ARE STILL IN THE TRANSFERENCE OVER BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME, UM, CHANGE ORDERS THAT NEED TO KINDA GET RECKONED OUT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.
SO WE'RE KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH ON WHO OWES WHAT.
LET'S BRING IT UP TO THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY.
SO WOULD IT BE TAMRON OR DR. HORTON? WELL, IT'D BE DR. HORTON.
ANYTHING ELSE THOUGH? I NOTICED THE CONDITION OF THE FIELDS THOUGH.
WE GOTTA GET THAT PART STRAIGHTENED OUT.
I WENT AND LOOKED AT IT AND IT'S ALL SUPER RIVETED AND I MADE A VIDEO AND SENT IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOT TRAMPLED OR WHAT, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SMOOTH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, IT'S, HAS IT BEEN ROLLED? I DON'T THINK SO.
IT'S, IT'S BEEN ROLLED ONCE, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST AFFIRMING EVERYTHING UP AND I THINK WE'LL START SEEING THAT AS THEY START ROLLING IT MORE AND THERE'S MORE MAINTENANCE BEING DONE TO IT.
SO IT'LL EVENTUALLY START TAKING OVER AND SEEDING AND DOING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
WE'RE JUST STARTING OUT, SO, OKAY.
AND WHEN I WENT OUT THERE TO GO SWING BY, I SAW LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS IS OUT THERE PLAYING ON IT.
AND SO THEY HAVE LITTLE MINI GAMES ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I WAS LIKE, THIS IS, THIS IS SWEET.
BUT THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.
[Business – C]
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND VICE PERSON OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE.I BELIEVE I MAY HAVE, UH, BEEN PREMATURE ON THIS ONE BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE JANUARY.
AND, UH, I THINK I WAS SO OBSESSED WITH NOT FORGETTING
IT'S A GOOD REMINDER THAT WE NEED TO DO IT.
SO IF WE COULD TABLE THAT UNTIL JANUARY NO PROBLEM.
AND THEN, UH, THERE'S ALSO SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO GET ANSWERED.
UM, SO YEAH, YOU'RE ALWAYS PREPARED.
AND IT'S NOT ANYTHING REGARDING TAKING ACTION.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK PARKS AND REC HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB THE PAST FEW YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED.
AND I'VE HELD A COUPLE DIFFERENT ROLES AS A CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, LOVE BEING VICE CHAIR, BUT I JUST WANNA LET THIS GROUP KNOW THAT IF SOMEBODY IS INTERESTED IN HAVING THE VICE CHAIR ROLE, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I'M, I'M UBER TIED TO.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, STILL WANNA BE PART OF THE COMMISSION.
BUT THIS UPCOMING YEAR IN 26, THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUNTEERING THAT I'M DOING.
SO I JUST WANT, AS WE CONSIDER THAT FOR JANUARY, IF SOMEONE IS INTERESTED IN THAT ROLE, LET'S, YOU KNOW, CONSIDER IT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING I ENJOY DOING, BUT IF SOMEBODY ELSE REALLY HAS A PASSION FOR WANTING TO DO IT AS WELL, UM, JUST TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR JANUARY, THAT'S ALL.
A GOOD VOICE OF THE COMMITTEE TOO.
YOU USED TO COME TO THE COUNCIL MEETING.
SO, WE'LL WE, WE'LL TABLE THAT FOR NOW.
I'LL GET BACK ON THAT ON JANUARY.
[Business – D]
ARC BOX PROJECTS, CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION REGARDING FUTURE ART CONTESTS.I THINK WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT THAT.
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD ON? WELL, DEFINITELY THE, UH, DEFINITELY THE CONCESSION STAND.
UM, THAT POOR THING NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.
UM, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD COME UNDER OUR PURVIEW, BUT, UM, I MEAN THERE ARE A LOT OF MURAL OPPORTUNITIES AROUND TOWN AND THAT SURE WOULD BE NICE.
I I JUST FEEL LIKE THE MORE PUBLIC ART WE COULD HAVE IN SHORE, THE, THE KATIE DOES AN AWESOME JOB.
THERE, THERE ARE A FEW PLACES AROUND AN AWESOME JOB AND WE NEED TO CATCH UP AND WE'LL HAVE CONCESSION
[00:15:01]
BUILDING IN PHASE THREE AS WELL.SO ALSO NEAR THE AMPHITHEATER.
WE'LL, WE'LL WE'LL HAVE TWO PROJECTS.
AND EVANGELINE SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S GOT IT UNDER CONTROL IF WE CAN JUST WORK WITH HER.
WELL I THINK IT WOULD JUST BE REALLY NICE TIMELINE WISE IF WE COULD KIND OF JUST HAVE A, AN IDEA OF THOSE NEXT FOUR BOXES.
I KNOW IT'S VERY DEPENDENT ON TXDOT.
BUT IF WE COULD JUST HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF WHEN THAT'S GONNA BE, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE ARTISTS KNOW.
UM, JUST AGAIN WANNA BE OVER COMMUNICATIVE AS WE CONTINUE THIS ART BOX PROJECT.
'CAUSE IT WAS STAGNANT FOR A WHILE AND SO WE'VE LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES AND WE JUST WANNA BE OVER COMMUNICATIVE MOVING FORWARD.
SO IF WE COULD FIGURE THAT OUT, JUST TO BE ABLE TO TELL THOSE ARTISTS LIKE, HEY, WE'RE EXPECTING SUMMER OF 26, WE'RE EXPECTING FALL OF 26.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO COMMUNICATE.
WELL AND I KNOW THE ONE AT BOOR AND CHARGER WAY, UH, THAT ONE I THINK THEY DID NOT DO BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE TOLL ROAD, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY THE TOLL ROAD.
I MEAN, I JUST FEEL LIKE WE COULD GO AHEAD AND DO THAT ONE.
DO YOU ALL HAVE A REASON FOR NOT DOING THAT ONE? THE TO, I MEAN IT'S, IT'S WHERE'S THIS? ON THE CORNER BY THE FARMER'S MARKET MARKET? YEAH.
I CAN, BECAUSE I THINK THEY WERE WAITING, THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT CONSTRUCTION ON THE UH, WEST PARK, BUT IT'S REALLY NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S WAY OUT THERE IN THE MEDIAN AND YOU HAVE TWO LANES AND THEN THE BOX.
SO IT'S REALLY NOT AFFECTED BY WELL AND PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT CONSTRUCTION.
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA SEE LIKE A LITTLE BIG NICK FROM LIKE A R'S I MEAN LIKE, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTION WE THAT FROM TRUCK DRIVING DOWN.
JUST WRAP THOSE THINGS UP AND LET'S GET ALONG WITH IT.
CAN, THE ONLY THING I I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST IS THE UM, UM, IRENE STERN MURAL ON THE BATHROOMS WE HAD THAT PAINTED, GOSH, IT'S BEEN ABOUT 10 YEARS AND I REALLY FEEL LIKE WE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART.
ALL FOUR SIDES ARE JUST GORGEOUS AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THAT.
I DON'T THINK IT'S HAD A POLYURETHANE COAT IN THOSE 10 YEARS.
WE NEED TO JUST UPKEEP IT SO THAT WE DON'T LOSE IT.
SO FOR THE ART BOXES, WE CAN DEFINITELY START TAKING A LOOK AT IT ON THE TIMELINES.
I THINK WE'RE A LITTLE PREMATURE OF SAYING EXACTLY WHEN BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION.
AND WE ALSO HAVE TO IDENTIFY THE DOLLARS FOR THE FOR OF THOSE FOUR.
SO, UM, THERE'S SOME HOMEWORK THAT WE STILL NEED TO DO TO KIND OF IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS.
NOW FOR THE REST OF THE ART FOR THE CITY, I THINK WE CAN HAVE THAT AS A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION AND KIND OF REALLY NARROW IT IN.
'CAUSE THERE'S, I MEAN, JUST BEING HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR ART, BUT I WANNA DEFINITELY BE PRAGMATIC AND ILLOGICAL IN HOW WE APPROACH THOSE LOCATIONS.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M BEING TOO OPTIMISTIC OR HOW LONG ALL THIS, HOW LONG THE ARC TAKES AND STUFF, BUT I MEAN, I WOULD THINK ONE'S GOT A LOT OF RED TAPE ATTACHED TO IT.
THE BATHROOMS IN THE CONCESSION STANDS, GEE, WE GET THAT DONE, FIRED UP PRETTY QUICK AND THEN MAYBE EVEN POSSIBLY HAVE IT BY THE GRAND OPENING OF THE PARK.
AND PEOPLE WALK IN, THEY'RE LIKE, YEAH MAN, THAT'S AWESOME.
'CAUSE THAT WOULD BE A, A ALMOST A SHOWSTOPPER.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LIKE THE TWO OF THE GUYS THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS ARE LITERALLY HERE.
YOU KNOW, THE COUNSELOR, THEY CAN SIGN OFF ON THAT AND LIKE, LET'S DO IT.
WELL SPEAKING OF THAT, 'CAUSE I, I REMEMBER VIVIDLY ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD ON CITY COUNCIL WAS THE LEGAL ASPECT OF IT.
AND ONE OF THE DEFINITIVE PARTS WAS THE ART.
THE ARTISTS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE THEIR ARTWORK ANYWHERE ELSE.
AND THAT WAS A BIG DISCUSSION THAT WE DISCUSSED TO POSSIBLY LOOKING AT MAYBE DOING AWAY WITH THAT OR GIVING SOME CONCESSION TO THE ARTIST.
FOR THE ARTWORK, UNDERSTANDING THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS OUT, OUT IN THE PUBLIC AND WE TECHNICALLY DON'T OWN IT BECAUSE IT, IT ISN'T ART ARTWORK EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE DONE WHAT WE DID AS FAR AS LEGALITY AND THEY SIGNED THE PAPERWORK.
UM, AND I KNOW RAMONA, YOU HAD, YOU HAD ALSO BROUGHT IT UP AS WELL.
UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS WELL.
I THINK EVANGEL I COULD SPEAK TO THAT WHAT WAS FINALLY DONE, BUT I THINK THE, UH, THE CONCERN WITH THE ARTIST, WHICH I FELT WAS NOT VERY FAIR, WAS THAT THEY WERE NEVER ALLOWED TO USE THAT IMAGE ANYWHERE AGAIN.
AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN SAY, HEY, LOOK WHAT I DID.
YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY WAS WRITING A MAGAZINE ARTICLE ABOUT YEAH.
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT WAS VERY FAIR.
WHO'S DECISION AROUND IN THERE THAT NO, THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT PIECE OF ART AND REPLICATE IT IN ANOTHER CITY OR SOMETHING.
I MEAN THERE, THERE'S ASPECTS WHERE WE WOULDN'T WANT TO, WE WOULDN'T WANT TO REPLICATE IT IN ANOTHER CITY.
BUT THEY CAN STILL UTILIZE THEIR, THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR ARTWORK IN MAGAZINES.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE DRIVING BY AND SNAP A PICTURE OF IT.
AND THEY POST IT ON THEIR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA FORMS. THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE LIKE YOU SAID IT, IT'S UNFAIR IN THAT ASPECT.
WELL I THINK IT COUNCIL DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT OR NOT? WHAT'S THAT? DID THE COUNCIL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR NOT? I THINK IT WAS JUST, IT WAS A TABLE DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE.
BUT IT WAS SOMETHING YOU, WE WERE LOOKING AT FOR THE NEXT TIME THAT WE DID EXPAND AND WE HAVE MORE ART BOXES AVAILABLE.
UM, WELL EVEN NOW I THINK YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO IT AND REVISIT IT AND HAVE LEGAL DROP SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA SAY THAT IT'S ALLOWED TO BE DONE.
[00:20:01]
THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO REPRODUCE HER IMAGES.EVANGELINE, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? UM, I JUST, I KNOW THAT
WE DID LOSE SOME, UH, REALLY GOOD ARTISTS BECAUSE OF THAT.
UM, AND SHE'S DONE UTILITY BOXES ALL OVER TEXAS AND HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE JUST NEED TO FIND OUT LIKE, HEY, WHOEVER WOULD ATTORNEY BROUGHT THAT BAD IDEA UP.
LIKE I'M GONNA CROSS THAT ONE OUT.
I MEAN, AND JUST LET'S GET ON WITH IT AND DO IT BECAUSE HAVE IT RE-REVIEWED, JUST NEVER IDEA WORDED.
YOU CAN USE IT FOR CERTAIN THINGS BUT NOT FOR OTHER THINGS.
'CAUSE I'M NOT TRULY, I'M NOT TRULY SURE AS TO, YOU KNOW, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IF IT WAS OUR CITY ATTORNEY THAT WROTE IT AT THE TIME, UM, SO, OR THE OLD PAST GUY.
I'LL LET Y'ALL WORK OUT THE DETAILS ON THAT.
NOT THROWING STONES, BUT JUST THROWING A STONE.
THAT'S HOW YOU GET THINGS DONE SOMETIMES.
THAT'S WHY WE GOT YOU OVER HERE.
DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD HELP EVENTUALLY? I THINK THAT WOULD HELP A LOT BECAUSE IF YOU WANT AN EXPERIENCED MURALIST, YOU CAN'T, UM, YOU CAN'T TAKE THEIR, THEIR, I MEAN AS AN ARTIST IT'S A VERY PERSONAL PROCESS AND TAKING THAT AWAY FROM THEM IS KIND OF, KIND OF, WE DON'T HAVE THE RESTRICTION ON THE MURALS THAT WE'VE DONE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
BUT YOU'RE LIKE, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S, MY MOM WAS AN ARTIST AND SHE DREW A LOT OF THINGS AND SOME PEOPLE USED THEM AND DIDN'T ASK FOR PERMISSION AND THEY REALLY JUST WHACKED HER
IT IS, IT IS AN EXPRESSION OF THE ARTIST.
EVEN IF IT'S REPRESENTING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY PERSONAL TO THEM.
I WOULD APPRECIATE IF Y'ALL TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT.
I KNOW WE TOUCHED ON THAT A LITTLE BIT, BUT LET'S GO AHEAD AND JUST TOUCH BASE UPDATE REGA REGARDING THE PARK RENTALS.
AND THAT'S GONNA BE A KELLY THING.
IS THAT KELSEY? KELSEY? MM-HMM
KELSEY HAS BEEN, UH, SPEARHEADING THE, UH, CURRENT EAGLE LANDING, UM, PROCESS FOR RENTALS AND SHE WAS INUNDATED.
YOU WANT THAT? THAT MEANS PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
AND UM, SO SHE IS OUT THIS WEEK AND I UH, KIND OF CAME IN TO UH, JUST UH, HELP AND ASSIST AND LUCKILY WITHIN THAT WEEK OR SO, IT WAS FULLY RESERVED BY THREE DIFFERENT, UM, ENTITIES.
AND THEN WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? UM, SO THEY'RE ALREADY PLANNING ON IT RIGHT NOW.
THOSE FIELDS GOTTA GET GROW AS WELL.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT MIGHT BE JANUARY, UP TO JANUARY.
HT ACTUALLY STARTED IN JANUARY.
'CAUSE I TALKED TO ISTIC, THE HEAD GUY BECAUSE I CALLED HIM UP GOING, YOU, YOUR FIELDS LOOK TERRIBLE.
HE WAS LIKE, WELL THEY'RE NOT REALLY ALL FAULT.
AND I'M LIKE, WELL BRO, LIKE YOUR ANKLES ARE GONNA BREAK.
WHAT, WHAT? HE SAID NOT THAT PART.
SO EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PAID AND RESERVED AND THAT'S AWESOME.
BLOOD WIDEFIELD FREE FOR JUST PLAY.
IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL IT? AND I'M NOT A SOCCER PLAYER.
SO THERE'S A CALENDAR, UM, ONLINE, ON OUR WEBSITE AND THERE'S ALSO THE APPLICATION AND THAT'S AVAILABLE UH, ONLINE AND UM, IT'S UNDER PARK RENTALS.
SO YEAH, IT WAS UH, VERY MUCH SO SUCCESSFUL AS FAR.
YOU SAID THAT THEY'RE NOT, I THOUGHT WHEN BE SET UP WITH HTX THEY WERE GONNA TAKE CARE OF ALL THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FIELD.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S MAINTENANCE.
WELL MAINTENANCE IS USUALLY LIKE ONCE IT'S ESTABLISHED THEN YOU MAINTAIN IT MOVING FORWARD.
IT, THEY MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE GONNA TAKE CARE OF ESTABLISHING IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
BUT I'M PRETTY CERTAIN IF YOU GET SOMETHING IN A CERTAIN ORDER, MAINTAINING MEANS MAINTAINING A CERTAIN OF WAY, WAY.
IF YOU, IT'S LIKE GETTING A HOUSE.
IF YOU GET A HOUSE, BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE GONNA SET IT UP.
THAT'S WHAT THE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THEY'RE THE BUILDERS.
IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT LAID THE DIRT THAT DIDN'T LAY IT CORRECTLY.
I THINK WE'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE EXACTLY WHERE THAT LINE IS.
UM, I THINK THINK THERE'S STILL SOME CONVERSATION 'CAUSE THEY WERE GONNA ESTABLISH PART OF IT,
[00:25:01]
WHICH IS WHY THEY CAME OUT BEFORE THE OPENING TO DO SOME OF THE ESTABLISHING OF THE FIELDS.I WE GOTTA FIGURE THAT PART OUT.
AND WE, THIS WHERE WE'RE STILL HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE GONNA KIND GET IT TO AS WHEN THEY'RE GONNA TAKE IT OVER AND VICE VERSA.
SO THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION HERE REALLY QUICK.
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG BECAUSE THEN WE'RE REPAIRING AND NOT THAT'S RIGHT.
SO ABRAM'S BEEN WORKING THAT WITH HGX.
THAT'S WHY I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE WHO HAS ABRA LOPEZ? SO YEAH, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO, WHAT WHAT RESPONSE.
LIKE YOU SAID, FROM WHAT PART? IT CHANGES HANDS.
I JUST KNOW THAT I LOOKED, I WAS LIKE, DUDE, YOU CAN'T PLAY SOCCER ON THAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE SOME HOOFED ANIMALS WERE RUNNING AROUND ON THERE.
WELL WE'RE GONNA HAVE, YOU KNOW, WHILE IT'S GETTING ESTABLISHED SURPRISE BECAUSE OF THE RAINS
AND A ABRAHAM'S WORKING WITH THAT WITH HIS TEAM.
AND I KNOW THAT PAUL, UM, HIS, THE ONE THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE OVERSEEING IT YEAH.
HAS BEEN GOING OUT THERE ALMOST DAILY TO KIND OF START GETTING WELL WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE TAKE CARE OF THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A SAFETY FACTOR.
'CAUSE I WENT OUT THERE AND LOOKED AT MY SON.
MY SON GOES, AH, THE FUEL DON LOOK VERY GOOD.
I WAS LIKE, DUDE, THEY DON'T, AND THAT'S WHY I CALLED WRISTED.
I WAS LIKE, HEY BUDDY
DO WE NEED TO PUT A FENCE AROUND THAT THING? A FENCE AROUND? NO, I DON'T THINK, I WAS JUST JOKING.
I I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE PLAYING ON IT AND IT'S JUST, YOU MEAN JOKING BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED.
I MEAN IT MAY BE, IT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHERE THE WOODS WERE.
SO WE'LL FOLLOW UP ON SEEING WHERE THAT LINE AT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW POLO POLO GAMES HAVE DIVOT STOMPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME? YEAH.
MAYBE SOCCER SHOULD INCORPORATE DIVOT.
BUT YOU'RE ALSO PAYING WELL IN ACCESS OF A MILLION DOLLARS JUST TO PLAY UNLESS SOMEBODY PUBLIC FROM THE STANCE WHO GOES AND DOES THE DIVOT STUFF.
SO KAYLA QUESTION ON THE RENTALS.
UH, DID WE HAVE ANYBODY THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF A SPORT, A SPORT, A SOCCER ORGANIZATION, TRY AND RENT IT? LIKE THAT'S LEADING INTO KIND OF TO BE WITH LACROSSE.
I KNOW LEAH, WHO'S NOT ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY, HAS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN REALLY WANTING TO SEE IF THERE COULD BE SOME LIKE LACROSSE NET STORED SOMEWHERE AND UTILIZED AS WELL.
BUT DID ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF A SOCCER ORGANIZATION EXPRESS INTEREST IN WANTING TO RENT? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
BUT THERE IS A, I THINK THE ONLY DAY, AND IT'S IN A THREE, UH, THREE MONTH BLOCK RIGHT NOW.
THE ONLY DAY THAT WAS POSSIBLY AVAILABLE WAS SUNDAY.
UH, AS FAR AS STORAGE IS VERY LIMITED.
WELL, AND MY THING IS THERE, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT JUST NEED TO NORMALIZE.
LIKE THE FIELD, A LOT OF THAT IS SETTLING, A LOT OF THAT IS ROLLING IT A FEW TIMES.
I THINK GETTING SOCCER UP AND RUNNING, WHICH WAS THE INTENT FOR THIS PARK IN, IN THESE FIELDS FIRST.
BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING AS WE GET TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, UM, 26 FALL, UH, TO JUST EXPLORE IF THERE IS ANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR LACROSSE TO UTILIZE THOSE FIELDS.
I JUST KNOW IT'S SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO LEAH.
SHE'S NOT HERE TRYING TO SPEAK ON HER BEHALF.
BUT THEN IT WOULD JUST BECOME WHERE DO THE, THE NETS GET STORED? IF THEY WERE DONATED, IF THEY WERE GIFTED, HOW CAN WE STORE THOSE APPRO APPROPRIATELY? RIGHT.
'CAUSE THAT WOULD COME UP VERY QUICKLY.
WHAT ABOUT CRICKET? HAS ANYBODY ASKED ABOUT USING IT FOR CRICKET? WE HAVE PICTURES.
NO, THE CRICKET FIELDS WERE BUILT OVER THERE.
WERE THEY IN KATY SOMEWHERE THERE? THEY JUST BUILT SOME CRICKET FIELDS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET A CRICKET PICTURE THERE.
THEY'RE DOWN AT, UM, ON THE WAY TO ALL TO ENCHANTED GARDENS.
OH, WE'RE LOOKING AT JONES CREEK PARK.
WASN'T THERE A CORNER IN TAMRON THAT WE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD USE? UH, NEXT TO WHERE THE, WHAT'S OUT THERE, WATER OR SEWAGE NEXT TO WHATEVER'S OVER THERE, THE UTILITY PLANTS.
WASN'T THERE LIKE A TRIANGLE OF ROOM OF LAND THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON WITH AND WE THOUGHT, OH, THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR A CRICKET PITCH, JUST BRINGING IT UP.
BECAUSE I CAN'T MY, YOU KNOW, BUT I'M TRYING.
WELL THERE IS, THERE IS AN ASPECT.
WE ARE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL LAND FOR PARKS AND REC.
SO I JUST, I DO THINK WITH THE, WITH THE LACROSSE, I MEAN, UM, I JUST MY 2 CENTS, I THINK WE NEED TO GET SOCCER UP AND RUNNING EFFICIENTLY BEFORE WE CAN KIND OF START INCORPORATING SOME OTHER VARIOUS, UM, YOU KNOW, UTILIZATIONS FOR THOSE PARKS.
BUT IT'D BE GREAT FOR US TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE KIND OF JUST MOVE FORWARD.
ALRIGHT, ANYBODY ELSE? WE'RE GOOD.
TWO AND THREE DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST REGARDING THE FORMATION OF A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE.
I THINK WE FIGURED THERE IS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
I, UH, PROVIDED KELSEY PROVIDED OH, THIS IS WHERE YOU GO TO THE LEGAL, UM, DESCRIPTION.
I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND READ IT IF THAT'S OKAY.
SO THIS WAS FROM KELSEY, OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER.
UM, IT'S IN FOLLOW UP TO LAST MONTH'S, UH, QUESTION THAT WE HAD OF FOLKS BEING ON
[00:30:01]
PARKS AND REC.IF THERE WAS A FULL SURE LITTLE LEAGUE TO BE ESTABLISHED, IF THERE'S ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST, WOULD THERE BE ANY ISSUES? UH, WOULD THAT PRECLUDE US FROM, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATING IN VOTING ON THINGS THAT MIGHT BE ASSOCIATED WITH, UH, THAT PARK.
SO THIS WAS HER REPLY IN CASE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.
THIS IS FROM OUR CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
IN ESSENCE, THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AN IMMEDIATE ISSUE WITH THEM HELPING GATHER INTEREST IN A LITTLE LEAGUE AS THEY DON'T BENEFIT FROM IT.
BUT AS ALWAYS, THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK THEIR OWN LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD THEY NEED SPECIFIC GUIDANCE.
UM, AND THEN SHE CITES SOMETHING THAT PROBABLY IS A CODE THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT WHAT IT IS, BUT I'M GONNA READ IT.
A SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST MAY ARISE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A MEMBER POSSESSES AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE OR RECEIVES COMPENSATION FOR ANY OTHER MATERIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT FROM THE ORGANIZATION.
CONVERSELY, IF THE LITTLE LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED AS A NON-PROFIT ENTITY AND THE MEMBERS RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION AND HOLD NO OWNERSHIP INTEREST, IT IS REASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT NO SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST EXISTS.
AND ACCORDING NO STATUTORY CONFLICT OF INTEREST WOULD ARISE UNDER CHAPTER 1 7 1 REQUIRING THE FILING OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AFFIDAVIT OR ABSTENTION FROM VOTING.
EACH COMMISSION MEMBER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING THEIR OWN CIRCUMSTANCE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CHAPTER 1 7 1 AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST REQUIREMENTS.
AND AGAIN, WE SHOULD ALL SEEK OUR LEGAL COUNSEL SHOULD WE NEED SPECIFIC GUIDANCE AS THIS IS NOT, I AM NOT A LAWYER.
I AM NOT OF LEGAL COUNSEL
IT IS ORGANIZED AS A NONPROFIT.
I DO HAVE THE NONPROFIT, IT IS UNDER MY NAME.
SO I WILL NOT STAND TO HAVE ANY SORT OF COMPENSATION FROM THAT.
SO I, I THEREFORE INTERPRET IT BEING NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAID FOR ANYTHING, YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.
THIS IS LIKE NOT GETTING PAID A MILLION DOLLARS.
THAT VOLUNTEER ROLE IS JUST GREAT.
THIS IS LIKE SO FROM THE CITY THOUGH, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I MISINTERPRETED, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST IF ANYBODY ON THIS COMMISSION WOULD HAPPEN TO BE A COMMISSION MEMBER AND ALSO PLAY, UH, A ROLE IN LITTLE LEAGUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR HAVE THE NONPROFIT, CORRECT? MM-HMM
I JUST WANTED THAT TO BE NOT COMPENSATION.
THERE'S NO COMPENSATION NOT BEING PAID, CORRECT.
OR EVEN DRIVING ANY KIND OF MONETARY NON-MONEY.
I DIDN'T WANNA SAY IT RIGHT, BUT THAT'S ALL GOOD.
AND I THINK JUST THAT THE MAJOR QUESTION WE HAD LAST TIME IS WITH STARTING THE NONPROFIT AND THEN MOVING FORWARD, FORMING THE LITTLE LEAGUE.
DOES THAT THEN REMOVE US FROM BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT MAY BE INVOLVED WITH PRIMROSE PARK? AND WHAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IS THAT THERE IS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE.
SO EVERYTHING'S ON THE UP AND UP.
WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THE RIGHT WAY.
I, IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
I THINK THEY WANTED US TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME AND SOME PEOPLE INVOLVED ON COMMITTEE THAT ACTUALLY AFFILIATED WITH FUL.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMMITTED TO IT.
SO IT, IT'S, BUT YEAH, THERE'S, AND IT'S NOT JUST COMPENSATION, IT'S FAVORABILITY IF IN IN ANY CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS, RIGHT? MM-HMM
FIELDS OR FAVORABILITY FOR TEAMS. UM, YOU KNOW, ANY GROUPS MM-HMM
UM, THERE CAN'T BE ANY FAVORABILITY AS FAR AS FAMILIAL MEMBERS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, SO IT'S NOT JUST COMPENSATION'S FAVORABILITY UNDER CONTRACTS AND SUCH.
AND WE WOULD JUST ALL NEED TO IDENTIFY IF THAT SITUATION ARISES AND, YOU KNOW, FILL OUT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND THEN ABSTAIN FROM A VOTE.
BUT, UM, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OF THAT EXISTING TODAY FOR, UH, LITTLE LEAGUE AT PRIMROSE.
BUT IF IT ARISES, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE WE BRING IT UP.
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WHEN I APPRECIATE THE FACT, SORRY.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU WENT AHEAD OF THE GAME AND CHECK AND CHECK.
THAT REALLY SHOWS TRANSPARENCY.
ULTIMATELY WHAT WE, WHAT WE WANT TO REMEMBER IS THIS IS ALL FOR THE KIDS.
AND IT'S THE SAME THING THAT WE DO FOR THE PTA, NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, NO MATTER THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE BACKGROUND, NO MATTER FAVORABILITY OR CONFLICT OF INTEREST, ULTIMATELY IT COMES DOWN, IT IS FOR THE CHILDREN.
AND HAVE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THE, UM, THE, THE RIGHT INTENTION.
YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE YOUR HEART IS, THE INTENTION.
AND THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WILL OBVIOUSLY TRY TO SCRIPT THE SYSTEM.
AND YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT THIS STUFF IS VALID.
'CAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE THAT WILL DO THINGS WITH ULTERIOR MOTIVES.
AND SO I THINK WE'RE ALL, I SHOW UP HERE EVERY FRIDAY, NOT FOR MY BENEFIT, YOU KNOW? AND SO I DON'T THINK ANY OF US REALLY DO WE DO IT FOR, FOR THE CITY FULL SURE.
AND THE KIDS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
SO, UM, I THINK WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT AND, UM, WE WANNA SHARE SOME GOOD NEWS.
I THINK NOW IT'D BE AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO KIND OF BRING IT ALL TO EVERYBODY OUT.
SO IT ALL KIND OF STARTED OFF.
SO, YOU KNOW, THIS STARTED OFF A
[00:35:01]
COUPLE YEARS AGO WHERE EVERYBODY WAS LIKE, HEY, WE'RE BUILDING FIELDS.AND WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
WHAT KIND OF ORGANIZATION ARE WE GONNA ESTABLISH? WELL, YOU GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
AND THE, THE MAIN OPTION WAS THE ONE THAT THE PERSON THAT DONATED THE LAND TO FOR THE REASON WAS LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL.
SO THEY WANTED LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL, RIGHT? WELL, THERE'S DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALLS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LISTENING TO THIS VIDEO AT HOME.
WE WANTED THE PURE SENSE OF LITTLE LEAGUE, RIGHT? WHAT WE ALL GREW UP TO WATCHING OR LISTENING OR WATCHING GAMES AND WHATNOT.
WELL, PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO ESTABLISH A LITTLE LEAGUE AND ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT.
SOMEONE'S GOTTA STEP UP AND START LEADING THE CHARGE ON THAT.
AND SO MY FRIEND KIM, MYSELF AND CAMERON ARE THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY STOOD UP AND, AND, AND TOOK THAT LEAD.
RIGHT? UH, AND THAT'S WHY I KINDA LAUGH WHEN I, WHEN WHEN WE READ THIS, I'M LIKE, THERE'S NO, I PROMISE YOU THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO THIS OTHER THAN LEGACY AND BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE WHERE WE CAN STAND ON THIS 20 YEARS FROM NOW AND BE LIKE, WOW, WE ACTUALLY DID IT AND, AND WE ALL DID THIS.
RIGHT? AND SO WE, YOU KNOW, WE PUSH AND PUSH AND PUSH FOR A, A LITTLE LEAGUE WITH NONPROFIT, UH, ORGANIZATION, KATIE, AMERICAN NATIONAL AND BRAS OWN THE TERRITORIES THAT OVERLAP FUL 100% WITHOUT THOSE PEOPLE GIVING US THE RIGHTS, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO OPEN UP A RE LITTLE LEAGUE.
IT'S JUST NOT, IT'S A FLAWED SYSTEM.
BUT THAT'S THE WAY THEY DO IT.
AND THEY'VE DONE IT LIKE THAT FOR THE LAST 90 YEARS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
UH, BRAS WASN'T, WASN'T WILLING TO GIVE US ANY PROPERTY RIGHTS, BUT KATY AMERICAN WAS.
AND FOR THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS WE'VE BEEN REACHING OUT TO THE PRESIDENT OF KATY AMERICAN.
CAMERON AND I EVEN MET IN PERSON AND WENT TO THE FIELDS WITH THE, THE POWERS OF FULL LITTLE LEAGUE.
AND, UH, THEY VOTED ON IT AND THEY GAVE US RIGHTS TO, UH, CROSS CREEK RANCH IN THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT GOES DOWN, DOWN FRY ROAD.
WE'LL SHARE THE DETAILED MAP PUBLICLY AND KIND OF LET EVERYBODY KNOW.
OUR CITY OWES OWES, UH, BRIAN SILLS, THE PRESIDENT OF KATIE AMERICAN, A REALLY BIG THANK YOU.
AND I, AND I'LL BRING THIS UP LATER ON.
I THINK WE SHOULD ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, DO SOMETHING VERY NICE FOR HIM AT THE GRAND OPENING.
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER, SO WE GOT THE APPROVAL, IT'S BEEN SIGNED OFF ON, NOW WE'RE DOING THE, THE, THE LEGAL PAPERWORK.
THAT'S KIND OF WHERE KEN AND SMART PEOPLE GET INVOLVED AND START DOING ALL THAT PART OF IT TO GET EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING.
THE BIG PART OF THAT IS THE COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED.
WE WANT PEOPLE WITH SKIN IN THE GAME.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE LIKE YOU, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT, THAT CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY AND YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME INTO IT.
UM, AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA OPEN UP THE, WE'RE GOING TO POST PUBLICLY AND REALLY GET THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND ASK WHO WANTS TO BE A PART OF THIS JOURNEY, RIGHT? UH, WE NEED ABOUT 15 PEOPLE.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF THE NEXT STEP.
WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE WE'RE AT, WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED, AND, AND, AND KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT.
BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, YOU'RE GONNA GET BLOWN.
KELSEY'S GONNA GET BLOWN UP WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO GET THESE FIELDS.
AND BASEBALL'S GONNA BE A HUNDRED TIMES WORSE.
BUT, BUT, UH, THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE KIDS NOT, YOU KNOW, SO WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL ABOUT ALL THAT.
YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO IT? WELL, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A, A REALLY LONG TIME COMING.
I MEAN, THIS LAND WAS DONATED A REALLY LONG TIME AGO WITH INTENTIONS OF WALKING TRAILS AND LITTLE LEAGUE AND, YOU KNOW, FOR MY PERSONAL INVOLVEMENT, I WANNA SEE THAT COME TO FRUITION.
AND SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN GET INVOLVED IN THIS.
BUT AS DAX MENTIONED, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRIED TO ESTABLISH SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE, AND IT'S NOT AN EASY FEAT.
SO THERE HAVE BEEN FOLKS THAT HAVE TRIED TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING, BUT WITHOUT THE TWO SURROUNDING LITTLE LEAGUE ORGANIZATIONS BEING OPEN TO THE CONVERSATION AND GIVING UP SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE, IT, IT, IT ALWAYS ENDED THERE.
SO AGAIN, TO KATIE AMERICAN FOR ALLOWING US TO TAKE THAT NEXT STEP, THAT'S, THAT WAS THE GREEN LIGHT WE NEEDED.
UM, AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY THAT'S EVER PARTICIPATED IN A, IN A GROUP THAT HAS TO MAKE A TON OF DECISIONS, THERE'S GONNA BE A CORE THAT HAVE TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS TO GET THIS UP AND RUNNING.
BUT THE INTENT IS TO OPEN IT UP FOR ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO BE A, A VOLUNTEER AND, AND GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OUT OF IT.
NO MONEY, NO GIFTS, NO NO PLAQUES, BUT JUST GET IT UP AND RUNNING FOR THE KIDS.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M NOT GONNA, I, I'M NOT GONNA GET EMOTIONAL, BUT MY DAD WAS A HUGE LITTLE LEAGUE, UH, SUPPORTER AND TEACHES A LOT OF GREAT CHARACTER FOR CHILDREN GROWING UP.
AND SO I THINK FOR THE KIDS, UM, IN THIS COMMUNITY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING IT FOR.
UM, BECAUSE WE HAD KATIE AMERICAN PROVIDE US THE OPPORTUNITY YES.
CAN WE USE THAT AS LEVERAGE TOWARDS BRAZOS TO HAVE THEM, YOU KNOW, SECOND GUESS THEIR, THEIR DECISION AND COME TO PLAY AND SAY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, KATIE AMERICAN'S ON BOARD, WE NEED YOUR HELP.
REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN BRAZOS, YOU KNOW,
[00:40:01]
I SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT OF, OF, UH, OF THAT ORGANIZATION AND, AND LEMME TELL YOU THIS, THAT PRIMROSE PARK FALLS INTO BRAZOS.HUGGINS RIGHT THERE FALLS INTO BRAZOS.
IT'S LITERALLY SRE, THE HEART OF SRE.
AND I EXPLAINED THIS TO HIM AND, AND HE WOULD JUST, WOULD NOT RELEASE, UH, HUGGINS OR THAT AREA TO US.
AND I SAID, YOU, YOU DO REALIZE IT'S WALKING DISTANCE TO THE BASEBALL FIELD.
LIKE WE LITERALLY, AND UM, HE SAID, WELL, THAT'S JUST GONNA HARM US.
AND I SAID, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PLAY ON OUR FIELDS.
THEY, THEY WON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.
BUT, BUT WELL, AND DEX, IF I MAY, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I KNOW THIS IS YOUR INTENT.
WE DO NOT WANT TO IMPACT IMPEDE BRAZOS NO.
THEY HAVE GREAT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE PROVIDING AWESOME SERVICES FOR THE KIDS THAT LIVE THERE.
UM, TO D'S POINT, IT'S A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING THAT THERE COULDN'T BE A LITTLE GIVE THERE.
BUT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND THIS GETS UP AND RUNNING, IT WILL BE UP TO THE PARENTS AND THE CHILDREN WHAT ORGANIZATION THEY DECIDE TO ACTUALLY SIGN UP FOR.
BECAUSE IF WHERE THEY RESIDE HAPPENS TO FALL INTO A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IS OF ANOTHER, UM, LITTLE LEAGUES ORGANIZATION, THEY CAN CHOOSE TO EITHER PLAY WHERE THEY'RE ZONED OR PLAY WHERE THEIR KID GOES TO SCHOOL.
SO THERE WILL BE SOME OPTIONS FOR, FOR THE PARENTS AND FOR THE CHILDREN OF WHERE THEY WANNA PLAY.
EVERY ORGANIZATION OFFERS POSITIVES.
UM, AND THEY'RE ALL GREAT AT WHAT THEY DO.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING THAT WE COULDN'T JUST HAVE THE LITTLE CHUNK OF WHERE THE FIELDS ARE BE ZONE TO US.
WE GOT WHAT WE NEEDED FROM KATY AMERICAN.
THE GOOD THING IS, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
SO, SO BRA HAS KEPT THEIR BOUNDARY LINES.
SO WESTIN BROOK, FULCHER CREEK.
THEY WOULDN'T REALLY, THAT'S WHAT I SAID A COUPLE MEETINGS AGO.
I MEAN, MY BOYS PLAYED FOR BRAS BETWEEN THE THREE OF 'EM FOR 10 YEARS.
SO I, I KIND OF GET IT ON THEIR PART BECAUSE IF, IF THEY LOSE US, THEY WON'T HAVE, I MEAN, WELL WE'RE, THE DEAL WAS WHEN I TALKED TO, WHEN I TALKED TO 'EM, I SAID, HEY LOOK, YOU CAN KEEP ALL BROOK RE WESTON ALL THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU TO HARM 'EM.
I SAID, BUT IT'S NEXT TO OUR, IT'S OUR BASEBALL FIELD.
YEAH, NO, I'M LIKE, SO WE DO ACTUALLY STILL HAVE SLIGHT A BIT OF LEVERAGE OF, WE HAVE A LOT OF PARENTS, A LOT THAT LIVE IN THE NEAR HUGGINS CAN STILL STIPULATE WHERE THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO PLAY.
THAT WAS A LOT OF THE REASONS WHY WE DIDN'T REALLY PUSH TOO HARD.
LIKE, SO TO GET THE, YOU KNOW, THE LOGISTICS OF IT.
AND UH, AND WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.
BUT YEAH, IF YOUR AGE IS FOUR TO SEVEN, DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, YOU CAN GO PLAY.
SO ATTRACTING THE YOUNGER KIDS TO KIND OF BUILD OUT THE LEAGUE ORGANICALLY IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY AFTER.
WE DON'T WANNA PULL 11 AND 12 YEAR OLDS FROM ORGANIZATIONS AND THEN THEY'RE, WE DON'T WANT THAT.
SO FOUR TO SEVEN, IF A FOUR TO 7-YEAR-OLD JOINS OUR LEAGUE AND THEY HAVE AN OLDER SIBLING, THE OLDER SIBLING HAS A RIGHT TO GO TO OURS.
SO MY GRANDCHILDREN ONLY BE KATIE IF THEY WANT TO PLAY IN OUR, IN OUR LITTLE LEAGUE.
COULD THEY DO THAT OR NOT? IF THEY'RE FOUR TO SEVEN YEARS OLD, THEN THEY, THEY CAN COME TO OUR, IF THEY'RE FOUR YEARS OLD TO SEVEN YEARS OLD, THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TAKE GIRLS AND YEAH.
GIRLS COMPLAIN ABOUT LIKE, ONE GIRL IN THERE I KNOW CAN PLAY AND BRING THE BROTHERS IN TOO.
SO THERE'S ALWAYS, THERE'S THAT TO WORK WITH.
NOW, UM, IS THERE A, A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION THAT YOU CAN APPEAL TO? IT? IT, YES.
LITTLE LEAGUE IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR A REALLY LONG TIME AND THEY HAVE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS THAT WORK WITH LOCAL GROUPS.
BUT HONESTLY, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO BENEFIT TO KATIE AMERICAN AND BRAZOS GIVING UP TERRITORY OTHER THAN THEY'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING SO THAT A, A 4-YEAR-OLD COULD GET INTO THEIR CAR AND DRIVE FIVE MINUTES TO THE BASEBALL FIELD INSTEAD OF HAVING TO DRIVE 25 OR WHATEVER IT IS.
SO I I, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M NOT AN AGENT FOR LITTLE LEAGUE, BUT I THINK THEY TRY AND HAVE IT WORKED OUT LOCALLY.
AND IF THERE'S, IF THERE'S NO INTEREST FROM EITHER OF THOSE TO GIVE US LAND, THEN IT'S, I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GONNA STEP IN AND SAY, WELL CHER'S THE FASTEST GROWING CITY IN TEXAS AND THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR POPULATION HAS GROWN SO MUCH THAT YES, THEY'RE, THEY DESERVES AND THEY HAVE THESE NEW FIELDS.
THEY DO DO DO IT MORE OF A HANDSHAKE.
SO THE FACT THAT KATIE AMERICAN OPENED THE DOOR TO GIVE US THE TERRITORY THEN ALLOWED US TO, THAT WAS EVERYTHING.
AND BRAZO, WEST LAKES, BROOK BROOK ON SHORE CREEK.
AND THEN WHAT? AND SHORE RUNNING WALLACE? NO.
WHERE, HOW FAR DOES IT GO? NO, WE HAVE A HUGE WALLACE, I THINK WALLACE.
AND THEN THE DIVIDING LINE IS, IS BODARK I BELIEVE.
WHERE DOES THAT AND HOW FAR WEST IS THEY GO, HOW FAR WAY FAR WEST STRUCTURE, I THINK.
WELL I JUST WONDERED BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO START BUILDING OUT THERE TOO.
THEY'RE GOING TO GET MORE EVENTUALLY HALF.
ELEMENTARY, UNFORTUNATELY, THE, THE WAY THE BOUNDARIES ARE SET RIGHT NOW, THERE WILL BE A POINT IN TIME THAT THAT SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE WILL GET LANDLOCKED AND THAT'S OKAY.
[00:45:01]
ENOUGH KIDS TO SERVE.BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE ROOM TO MOVE WEST, UM, TO GAIN MORE TERRITORY FOR THAT.
SO, BUT IT'S FOR THE, THE
SO WE KNOW THAT PROGRESSION IS MOVING, BRAZOS IS GONNA GROW, THAT AREA IS GONNA GROW JUST AS MUCH AS AS THAT AREA.
SIMONON MAY BE THE NEXT FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE NATION.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S WHERE IT'S HEADING AND WE'RE NOT STOPPING 10 93.
YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE REASON AS TO WHY I ASKED IS, IS IF WE DO HAVE LEVERAGE, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WE DO HAVE PARENTS THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA THAT, THAT ARE PART OF THE BRAZOS THAT DO GO TO FULL SHERE, DO GO TO HUGGINS THAT CAN HAVE THAT SAY WITH THEIR YOUNG, YOU KNOW, THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN MM-HMM
TO GO AHEAD AND GO INTO THE FULL SHERE LITTLE LEAGUE AND NOT HAVE ANY SAY SO TO BRAZOS.
SO THEY'RE GONNA LOSE THAT EITHER WAY.
IF SOMEBODY HAS DONE BRAZOS, YOU KNOW, THEIR KIDS, ALL OF THEIR KIDS, WE DON'T WANT TO PULL THEM OUTTA THAT ORGANIZATION AND SAY YOU MUST GO TO SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO THIS REALLY, I THINK PUTS THE DECISION BACK INTO THE PARENTS AND, AND PLAYERS' HANDS, WHICH IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
UM, AND AGAIN, EVERYBODY THAT'S INVOLVED WITH EITHER OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS ARE GREAT PEOPLE.
THEIR VOLUNTEERING, THEIR TIME FOR THE KIDS.
SO WE ARE OF THE MINDSET LIKE, LET'S, LET'S MOVE FORWARD.
BUT TO D'S POINT, THIS IS GOING TO BE A LET'S GET ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GET INVOLVED.
IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF TIME, AND A LOT OF, UH, LOVE AND PATIENTS TO GET AN ORGANIZATION LIKE THIS STARTED.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A FEW KEY POSITIONS WE'VE GOTTA OUTLINE QUICKLY TO CONTINUE WITH ESTABLISHMENT AND THEN IT WILL BE AN ALL CALL FOR THE COMMUNITY OF, HEY, HOW DO YOU WANNA GET INVOLVED? AND UH, YOU KNOW, FOR GROUPS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER HOURS AND THINGS OF THAT SORT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE WANT IT TO BE FULL SURE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
UM, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO UPDATE EVERYBODY AS WE WE GET, GO FURTHER ALONG THAT PROCESS.
UH, ONE QUICK QUESTION, OTHERWISE, UM, DOES THE SCHOOL BOUNDARIES, DOES THAT ALSO INCLUDE FULCHER HIGH SCHOOL? WELL, IT'S LITTLE LEAGUE, SO IT'S ONLY GONNA BE THE LITTLE GUYS, BUT FUL HIGH SCHOOL, UM, HOLD ON.
NO, FULCHER HIGH SCHOOL IS, IS IS US THAT THAT STREET IS THE DIVIDER CHARGE WAY, CHARGER WAY IS THE DIVIDER BORK TO BOAR? UM, YES, THAT'S US IN YOUR AREA.
WOULD IT BE OKAY, WHERE DO YOU GUYS GO TO HUNTS? SO BROOK ON FULCHER CREEK IS ZONED TO HUGGINS ELEMENTARY THROUGH LAMAR, CISD.
BUT WE WOULD BE IN THEORY PART OF BRAZOS TERRITORY.
BUT PER THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, AS A PARENT, I WOULD HAVE THE CHOICE IF I GO TO WHERE I'M ZONED AS WITH A LITTLE, OR IF I STAY WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND GO TO A LAMAR CONSOLIDATED LEAGUE, WHICH WOULD BE SHORE THE LEAGUE.
IT'S, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT PER SCHOOL DISTRICT.
NOT DISTRICT, NOT ALL LAMAR DISTRICT.
WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE LEARNING MORE THINGS AS WE GO.
BUT I, HERE'S THE THING, WE NEED TO, WE'RE VERY MUCH IN THE EARLY STAGES.
YEAH, WE KNOW ENOUGH TO BE DANGEROUS, BUT WE'VE GOTTA GET THINGS ESTABLISHED AND THEN COMMUNICATE OUT WHAT IT IS AND ISN'T.
BUT UP UNTIL A MONTH OR TWO AGO, THIS WAS A KNOT BECAUSE WE HAD NO TERRITORY ZERO, WE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD.
UM, AND AGAIN, IF THERE HAPPENS TO BE ANY CHANGES OF HEART ANYWHERE, REACH OUT.
BUT AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW, UM, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE TERRITORY THAT WE HAVE.
VERY, VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR, FOR KATY AMERICAN.
IT INCLUDES SOME PART OF CINCO RANCH.
'CAUSE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE CINCO RANCH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH KIDS IN THE CROSS CREEK RANCH 'CAUSE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL WE GOT.
IT'S CROSS CREEK RANCH AND A LITTLE BIT OF CINCO GOING DOWN THAT, THAT WAY, UH, DOWN, UH, SOUTH FRY IN 10 93.
SO THEY'RE GRATEFUL ENOUGH TO GIVE US ENOUGH KIDS TO BE ABLE TO EVEN FORM A LITTLE LEAGUE.
SO WE'RE JUST BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
UM, THAT BEING SAID, WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND GET EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
AND JUST ONE LAST THING, SORRY.
I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT IT, BUT WE'RE GONNA GET THIS STARTED AND IT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO EVOLVE.
IT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO GROW, IT'S GONNA CONTINUE TO TAKE ON ITS OWN IDENTITY AND PURPOSE CLEARLY.
BUT WE'VE GOTTA GET IT STARTED SOMEWHERE.
SO IT MAY NOT BE DAY ONE WE OFFER ALL THINGS, ALL AGE GROUPS, YOU KNOW, SOFTBALL, CORRECT.
AND BASEBALL AND EVERYTHING IS UP AND RUNNING.
WE'VE GOTTA GET OUR FEET WET AND STARTED SOMEWHERE.
BUT THE INTENT IS THAT THIS WOULD BE A FULL FUNCTIONING LITTLE LEAGUE ORGANIZATION.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.
AND STARTING FROM NEW FIELDS, YOU'VE GOTTA GET UNIFORMS, YOU'VE GOTTA GET VENDORS, YOU'VE GOTTA GET VOLUNTEERS, YOU'VE GOTTA GET, YOU'VE GOTTA GET ALL THE THINGS UP AND RUNNING.
SO YEAR ONE, YEAR TWO MIGHT BE, LET'S GET THIS UP AND RUNNING.
AND THEN WE START TO COME TO FULL FRUITION OF ALL THE THINGS.
IF YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT SOMETHING, PLEASE REACH OUT.
'CAUSE THERE'S A ROLE FOR YOU TO PLAY
[00:50:01]
IT.AND WHAT SHE'S REFERRING TO IS A COUPLE DIFFERENT THINGS.
BUT ONE OF THE BIGGER THINGS IS GONNA BE A SOFTBALL, LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL.
GIRLS AND GIRLS LOVE SOFTBALL.
THAT'S A BIG, THAT'S, THAT'S A, THAT'S A BIG DEAL.
WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S INCLUDED.
UM, PROBABLY NEED TO GET THE, THE, THE, THE LITTLE LEAGUE UP AND RUNNING.
FIRST WE FIND OUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THEN
SO THAT'S GONNA BE A, A BIG PART.
UH, BUT LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT'S GONNA HAVE MASTER PLAN COMMUNITIES BUILT ALL THE WAY OUT THERE.
AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, BRETT'S GONNA HAVE MORE KIDS THAN THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH.
AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME YOU CAN SAY, CAN WE PLEASE HAVE FULL SURE NOW, BUT AT THIS POINT THEY NEED THEIR PEOPLE.
UM, DISCUSSIONS ON SPONSOR SPONSORSHIP PACKETS.
UH, YEAH, SO WE'VE PROVIDED THE DATA TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND THEY'RE CLOSE TO FINISHING UP A DRAFT OF THE PAMPHLET, SO, OKAY.
UM, SO THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DIFFERENT STUFF TOO THAT WE'LL NEED TO DISCUSS AS WELL IN REGARDS TO SPONSORSHIPS.
'CAUSE NOW, LITTLE LEAGUE FULL STREET, SINCE WE HAVE THAT ESTABLISHED, OR THAT'S IN THE PROCESS OF BEING ESTABLISHED, WE GOT THE, THE, THE BLESSING ON IT IS WE'RE GONNA BE MARKETING ON THAT ASPECT, RIGHT? AND THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING WHERE WE'LL PROBABLY FIGURE OUT AS WE GO, YOU KNOW, UM, WE'LL FIGURE THAT OUT AS WE GO.
SO LET'S GET THE, THE INK, YOU KNOW, DRY ON THE LITTLE LEAGUE AND GET THE COMMITTEE SET UP.
AND THEN WE CAN START LOOKING INTO THE FULL SHARES WITH THE, THE BANNERS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
WHAT ARE THE DATES FOR PHASE THREE? WHEN ARE WE STARTING, UM, DESIGN FOR THAT AND CONSTRUCTION? OR IS IT DONE? WHERE, WHERE ARE WE WITH PHASE THREE? SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING A 90% DESIGN SUBMITTAL IN, UH, LATE JANUARY, FEBRUARY, EARLY FEBRUARY.
UH, SO CAN WE, CAN WE IN JANUARY SEE WHAT THAT DESIGN IS? I MEAN, I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONCEPTUAL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN FLOATING OUT THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO UPDATE THIS GROUP AS TO LIKE WHAT THE DESIGN IS LOOKING LIKE, AND PERHAPS GET SOME FEEDBACK IF THERE'S ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT WE MAY HAVE.
I MEAN, 90 PERCENT'S PRETTY FAR ALONG.
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MOVE TOO MUCH AT THAT POINT, BUT I, I JUST, WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD A, A CURRENT UPDATE AS TO WHERE WE ARE.
WE HAVE A 30% DESIGN, UH, CURRENTLY WE CAN, SO WE CAN, GOING INTO NEXT MONTH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME OPTIONS TO PRESENT TO Y'ALL, UM, THAT WE WANT TO KIND OF FLUSH OUT WITH THE ENGINEER FIRST.
AND THEN WE'LL BE PRESENTING SOME OPTIONS FOR Y'ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
AND SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE FOOD, UH, THE TRUCKS, THE FOOD TRUCK, CORRIDOR AND WHAT PLAYGROUND.
PLAYGROUND OPTIONS AND PLAYGROUND OPTIONS.
SO WHEN ARE WE TARGETING, UH, CONSTRUCTION STARTING? SO WITH THE 90% COMING IN JANUARY, UM, GET INTO A HUNDRED PERCENT, WE'LL GIVE THEM ANOTHER TWO MONTHS, POSSIBLY THREE.
SO THAT WOULD PUT IT INTO MAY.
I KIND OF ANTICIPATE HAVING A NOTICE OF PRE CONTRACTOR ON BOARD BY THE END OF SUMMERTIME.
AND THEN COMPLETION OF PROJECT IS TARGETED FOR, I THINK IT'S A 365 ON THIS ONE.
TARGET, IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT BEFORE THEY GET TO 90% SO WE CAN, UM, MAKE CHANGES IF WE NEED TO.
OR, SO THEY'RE PRETTY FAR ALONG INTO THE 90% ALREADY.
UM, SO LIKE I SAID, FOR THEM TO HIT THAT TARGET OF JANUARY, UM, THEY NEEDED TO GET MOVING ON SOME, SOME OF THE SPECIFIC DETAILS.
BUT DEFINITELY WE CAN PRESENT SOME OPTIONS TO Y'ALL ON SOME OF THE YEAH.
I'M ALL BOTH IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST AND IT'S NOT A MAJOR SHIFT OF ANYTHING.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT JANUARY MEETING FOR US TO DIVE INTO THAT.
UNDERSTAND, SEE IT, GIVE FEEDBACK IF THERE'S, LIKE YOU SAID, ANY OPTIONS FOR US TO CHOOSE FROM.
LIKE WE, I FEEL THAT WE'VE FOCUSED A LOT ON PHASE TWO AND CORRECT.
LIKE PHASE THREE WAS THIS IDEA, RIGHT.
AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE.
SO IT'D BE GREAT TO GET SOME, IF IT'S ALREADY 90% IN YEAH, THAT'S DEEP.
WE NEED TO START SEEING SOME STUFF AND THAT'S, IT'S DEEP BECAUSE OF, WE'RE TRYING TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS TO GET 'EM INTO CONSTRUCTION.
WE APPRECIATE AND THEY WENT FROM UH, 30 TO A 90, UH, ANTICIPATING THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENED FOR PHASE TWO AND A LOT OF THE CONCEPTUAL WAS ALREADY BROUGHT FORWARD THIS, SO THEY JUST NEED TO KNOCK IT OUT.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN YEAH, YOU'RE GO AHEAD.
CAN THIS, THERE WERE CHANGES PART.
DOES IT HAVE TO BE PRE WHAT WE HAVE WORKING SO FAR? THE 30, I'D LIKE TO SEE IT PRESENTED.
'CAUSE IF THEY SHOW US 30, IT'S NOT GONNA BE ANYTHING.
I WAS LOOKING FOR THE 90, THE THINGS THAT ARE CHANGED THAT OR YEAH.
WE NEVER SAW AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IT IS ON GROUND AND WE HAD NO IDEA.
SO IT'D BE NICE TO, TO JANUARY.
WE CAN KIND OF, YEAH, I DO THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITY STILL.
LIKE PHASE TWO, WRAPPING UP, PHASE THREE, WE'RE GONNA SEE 90 IN DECEMBER.
THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO FEBRUARY, SORRY.
WHERE THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE SOME SORT OF LIKE COHESIVE ELEMENTS ADDED TO THE OVERALL PARK.
LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE ART, I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT, BUT IN MY MIND I'M LIKE, I'D LIKE TO SEE PHASE ONE, TWO AND THREE DONE AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE ART HOLISTICALLY
[00:55:01]
IN THE PARK, HOW IT ALL CONNECTS.I THINK THERE'S SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERHAPS TRULY KEEPING A NATURE TRAIL, NOT A CONCRETE TRAIL, A NATURE TRAIL, LIKE AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENTIRE PARK THAT IF PEOPLE WANTED TO WALK IT.
SO I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME, SOME TYING THINGS THAT I'D LIKE FOR US TO DISCUSS.
NOT JUST PHASE THREE, BUT PHASE THREE AND CLOSE OUT OF THE OVERALL PARK.
AND I'D, I'D LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO HEAR OUR, OUR IDEAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND TAKE 'EM TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED PLANNING THIS PARK, I DON'T KNOW, 14 YEARS AGO OR SOMETHING.
UM, WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, THAT OUTER RING.
WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, STILL IN SHORE THAT OWN HORSES.
EQUINE TO EQU AND EQUINE TRAIL AROUND WHICH YOU COULD ALSO WALK ON OF COURSE.
AND UM, JUST TO, TO EVEN THE SITE OF PEOPLE RIDING HORSES WHEN YOU WALK, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DRIVE, AWESOME.
IT'S JUST SUCH A PRETTY THING.
IT GIVES BACK TO THE NATURAL CHARACTER OF OUR CITY.
AND TO HAVE THAT TRAIL THAT'S ALSO FOR EQUINE NEEDS.
IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'D BE A HUNDRED HORSES OUT THERE.
YOU'D HAVE TWO OR THREE MAYBE A DAY BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THEM THERE IN THE TRAILER AND GET THEM ON THE TRAIL.
BUT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
SO I WILL ADD, COMING FROM THE FOREST SERVICE
BECAUSE ANY TYPE OF HORSE BEING ON THERE TRAMPLES IT QUITE A BIT AND THEN CORRUPTS A DA COMPLIANCE BUT NATURE TRAIL NOW THAT WILL WORK FOR A DA COMPLIANCE.
JUST MENTIONING, I MEAN, IF YOU'RE CHANGING THE MEDIA FROM CONCRETE, THEN FOR EQUINE IT CHANGES A LOT OF A DA COMPLIANCE FOR YEARS.
I THINK WE JUST HAD THE IDEA LIKE TRUE NATURE TRAIL MM-HMM
YOU KNOW, UM, WHICH A LOT OF PARTS HAVE.
SO, AND I THINK THERE, THERE IS A COMPONENT FOR DG, UM, NOT COMPLETELY CIRCLING AROUND THE DETENTION POND.
AND I ALSO KNOW THAT TURE, UH, FUTURE PARKS, WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING COMPLETE NATURE AND WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THAT TYPE OF MEDIA FOR THOSE TRAILS.
SO I THINK IT'S JUST KIND OF WHAT YOU MENTIONED IS THE HOLISTIC APPROACH, UH, WHAT A NATURE TRAIL LOOKS LIKE.
AND THE PARK BEING REALLY DESIGNED TO BE COMPLETELY, IT CAN MORE FOR LIKE, MORE FOR LIKE, NOT LIKE A DAY-TO-DAY EVENT, BUT LIKE WHEN YOU HOLD A COOL EVENT AND LIKE IN A, A FESTIVAL AND WE HAVE THE WHOLE PARK AND EVERYBODY CAN BRING THEIR HORSES OUT AND, AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY GOT A BIG EVENT, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S GONNA BRING THEIR HORSES OUT LIKE ON A WEEKEND.
THEY THEY, THEY'RE RUNNING OUTTA PLACES TO RIDE.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME HORSES HITTING BASEBALL HORSES.
WELL, AND FOR ME, THE THREE THINGS SUPER IMPORTANT IN THIS PARK TO ME IS HONORING WHAT THE LAND WAS DONATED FOR.
WHICH WAS NATURE TRAILS AND LITTLE LEAGUE.
AND THEN HONORING THE CITIZENS OF CHER'S VOTE TO SUPPORT A BOND FOR A PLACE IN AN AMPHITHEATER THAT THE WHOLE CITY CAN GET TOGETHER.
SO THOSE THREE THINGS TO ME ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS PARK.
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE DELIVERED.
THE NATION WAS 10 ACRES OF THE 25.
AND THOSE HAVE GONE TO THE NATURE TRAIL.
SO THE OTHER 15 OF THE CITY BOUGHT, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.
BUT I'M JUST SAYING PEOPLE DONATED LANDS WITH THOSE, THOSE, THOSE INTENTS AND THEY'RE THERE.
AND THE OTHER INTENT FOR PEOPLE THAT RALLIED AROUND THE BOND WAS TO HAVE A PLACE THAT THE WHOLE CITY OF WILSHIRE CAN GATHER.
SO TO ME, THOSE THREE THINGS ARE THE, IN MY MY PERSONAL OPINION, I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE PATIENT.
WELL AND THAT'S BACK TO WANTING TO SEE THIS PLAN BECAUSE SEEING BERMUDA GRASS PLANTED ALONG A NATURE TRAIL.
I MEAN, YOU IMPORTED AFRICAN GRASS TO PLANT ALONG OUR NATURE TRAIL.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT ON THAT, BUT THAT, I MEAN, THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'D LIKE TO SEE BEFORE THEY GO ON THE GROUND AND THE MONEY GETS WASTED.
UM, HOW FAR ALONG ARE WE ON THE BASE? I WENT THE OTHER DAY.
CAN YOU GIVE US A, OR BRING US UP TO SPEED ON THE, UH, THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND WHERE WE'RE AT? SO MAIN THING GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS FENCING INSTALLATION.
SO ALL THE FENCE POSTS ARE IN, SAW THAT.
AND THEY'RE, UH, WRAPPING THE CHAIN LINK AROUND.
THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE FIELDS DONE AS OF A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
SO THE FOAM SETTING THE POST WITH THE CONCRETE MM-HMM
THE DIRT'S OUT THERE, THE RED DIRT IS OUT THERE.
WHAT ABOUT THE GRASS? IS HE GRASS LAID YET? NOT, NOT ON THE FIELDS.
NOT ON THE FIELDS WITH THE FENCE.
AND I SAW THE, THE LIGHTS, THE POLES ARE REALLY, REALLY HIGH.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE REAL SAFE.
'CAUSE THE FENCER'S HIGH, UH, I MEAN IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING LIKE FIRST CLASS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE NOT THE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD I GREW UP ON.
SO I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NICE.
UH, THAT'LL LAST FOR 50 YEARS EASILY.
UM, I GUESS AT SOME POINT WE'RE
[01:00:01]
GONNA START WANTING TO TALK ABOUT GRAND OPENING FOR ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOTTA BE TALKED ABOUT RIGHT THIS SECOND, BUT AT SOME POINT, YOU KNOW, YEAH.I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR IT TO BE WHEN THE WEATHER'S GOOD, 95% COMPLETE AND JUST A FEW THINGS, YOU KNOW.
WELL, NICER WEATHER, GETTING THE KIDS OUT THERE WOULD BE GREAT.
UM, AND, AND IT'D BE AWESOME TOO FOR, YOU KNOW, SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE TO BE UP AND RUNNING AND HAVE SOME SORT OF PRESENCE OUT THERE AS WELL.
WE WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE RENTALS WHEN WE WANNA ALLOW TEAMS TO START TRAMPLING ON THE FIELDS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT STUFF THAT HAPPENS.
I GET WARM, YOU KNOW, AND MAKE SURE THE GRASS, I, I GET HIT WITH THAT A LOT ALREADY AND I TELL PEOPLE THE GRASS IS NOT EVEN LAID YET.
IT'S GOTTA, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT HERE TO MAKE MONEY ON IT.
WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THE KIDS OF RE A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS, THEY DON'T LOOK AT THAT LIKE WE CAN START PRACTICING ON IT.
SO, UM, SO I'LL MAKE SURE WE, WE DISCUSS THAT WITH KELSEY WHEN SHE COMES IN AND SHE DOES ALL THE FIELD RENTALS TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, PAUSE THAT A LITTLE BIT AND LET THE FIELDS TAKE PLACE.
LET US, YOU KNOW, LET THE ROOTS SET.
I, UM, BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT COMPLETION SOMEWHERE AROUND FEBRUARY, I DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT IT GET INTO THE SPRINGTIME.
AND THAT WOULD GIVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE GRASS TO SET.
LET US KIND OF GET EVERYTHING GOING.
IF THERE'S ANY LAST MINUTE THINGS ON THE WARRANTY SIDE AND THEN WE CAN KIND OF LOOK AT DURING AN OPENING, MAYBE OUTFIELD ROLL TOO, RIGHT? I'M SORRY? WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE OUTFIELD ROLL.
[Business – E]
REPORTS FOR THE PARKS AND RECREATION BUDGET COUNTS.UH, LEAH'S NOT HERE, BUT ANYBODY ELSE? AND I AM WORKING WITH FINANCE TO UH, GET A, THE MORE DETAILED AS UH, LEAH HAD REQUESTED.
[Business – F]
ITEM, ITEM OF COMMUNITY INTEREST.ANYBODY WANNA SHARE ANYTHING? I WOULD JUST SHARE THE UPCOMING SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE ALL CALL THAT WILL BE GOING OUT.
UM, THE CITY HAS GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED, UH, US TO POTENTIALLY USE SOME SPACE HERE FOR THAT ALL CALL.

WELL, AND THE, UM, MAYBE WATCH FOR THE CALL FOR ARTISTS ON, UH, CULTURE ARTS ALLIANCE.
WATCH FOR THE CALL FOR ARTISTS FOR THE FUTURE PROJECTS.
ANYBODY ELSE? UH, FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. I'M SO SORRY, DAX.
ANY OF THE GRANTS UPDATES ON THE COMMUNITY ITEMS? I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT GRANTS HERE AND THEY'RE KIND OF PENDING.
IT'S SLIGHTLY ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST, BUT CAN WE HAVE ANY UPDATES ON ANY OF THE GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN OR HAVEN'T BEEN APPROVED MAYBE IN JANUARY? YES.
SO I KNOW THE, THE GRANT FOR THE BENCHES AND TRASH CANS.
I THINK, I THINK DECEMBER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, THERE'S A DECISION MADE.
SO I'LL CHECK WITH OUR GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR.
AND WE CAN UPDATE YOU MEETING WITH HER IN JANUARY.
ALSO, YOU'RE GONNA SEND US, UH, GRANT, GOOD DRONE DRONE FOOTAGE OF ALL THE BOXES THAT HAVE BEEN WRAPPED.
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT YET, HAVE WE? I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT COME.
WHAT'S THAT, KEN? THE DRONE FOOTAGE OF ALL THE BOXES THAT HAVE BEEN WRAPPED SO FAR, YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY WRAPPED THIS, RIGHT? JUST SEND I HAVE IT.
ANYBODY ELSE? CAN WE SHARE THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA? I BELIEVE SO.
LET US DOUBLE CHECK WHAT I THINK YOU'RE ABLE TO ALREADY AND COPY.
PUT THAT THE BENCH LINE ON IT TOO.
YOU HAVE HER ADDRESS, SIR? YES MA'AM.
[Business – G]
ITEMS G.ANYBODY WANNA ADD ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS SO FAR? I HAVE UH, THE CHAIRPERSON AND CO-CHAIR.
AND I HAVE THAT 90% COMPLETION DESIGN DESIGN FOR PHASE FOR PHASE THREE.
AND YOU COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE? I CAN, IT MIGHT BE GOOD, JUST A PENCIL IN THERE.
JUST THE FULL SHORE LITTLE LEAGUE COMMUNITY ALL CALL.
'CAUSE I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY BE AROUND THAT TIME.
AND THEN JUST LASTLY, THE GRANTS.
WE'LL INTRODUCE KELLY AT THE NEXT MEETING.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY UPDATES ON SPONSORSHIP? NO.
I'M, I THINK THAT'LL BE PROBABLY SOMETHING WE'LL NEED TO TALK ABOUT PRETTY SOON, BECAUSE THAT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE.
'CAUSE WE SHOULD HAVE THE PAPERWORK COMMENCED BY THE NEXT MEETING DONE WITH THE COMMITTEE.
[01:05:01]
FINE THEN TO START.YEAH, LET'S START GETTING EVERY, ALL THE LINES.
KAYLA, UM, COMMUNICATING TO CITY MANAGER ABOUT THE LEGAL ASPECT FOR THE ART, UH, FOR THE ARTIST.
DO Y'ALL WANT IT ON THE AGENDA? YES, I THINK SO.
YEAH, BECAUSE IF WE'RE, IF WE CONTINUE DISCUSSING ABOUT THE ARTWORK AND THE ARTISTS COMING UP, WE, WE DEFINITELY WANNA MAKE SURE ALONGSIDE WITH AND MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THAT DOES GET TO SEE COUNCIL AND OUR ATTORNEYS OKAY.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, WE CAN ADJUST THAT TO FIT A BETTER FIT.
I THINK THAT WILL OPEN IT UP FOR MORE ARTISTS TO ACTUALLY DEFINITELY JUMP ON BOARD.
AND GUARANTEED WE HAVE A LOT MORE ARTISTS THAT HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA SINCE WHAT WE STARTED THIS FOUR YEARS AGO.
NO, WE DID THE FALL SEVEN YEARS AGO.
WHAT, SEVEN YEARS AGO? I THINK.
DID WE STARTED THE CALL FOR ARTISTS? YEAH.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME.
AGAIN, IT'S BEEN MORE THAN FOUR YEARS.
ALRIGHT, SO I'LL TRY TO WRAP IT UP.
I KNOW WE'RE A LITTLE OVER, OVER TIME LIMIT.
UM, KEEP THAT IN MIND 'CAUSE I KNOW SINCE I'VE TAKEN THE ROLE I KNOW WE TEND TO RUN OVER A LITTLE BIT.
SO WHEN YOU VOTE
I MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE, UH, DECEMBER MEETING.
ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.
COURT A I THINK YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE.
